…whom she thinks is far better than Gaga.

Gaga may have an unwavering obsession for Madonna, but the latter does not seem to return the love. In fact, it seems every interview she’s ever had, she’s always dissing Gaga!

When asked about what she thought of Gaga in her recent interview with The Advocate, Madonna replied coolly:

“I have no thoughts.”

Then, when asked to comment about Lady Gaga’s influence on today’s gay youth, Madonna responded:

“It seems genuine… It seems natural, and I can see why she has a young gay following. I can see that they connect to her kind of not fitting into the conventional norm. I mean, she’s not Britney Spears. She’s not built like a brick sh-thouse.”

She added:

“[Gaga] seems to have had a challenging upbringing, and so I can see where she would also have that kind of connection, a symbiotic relationship with gay men.”

Sorry, Gaga… Madonna just can’t seem to bring herself to return the love you have for her!

Lady Gaga has been dating “Vampire Diaries” star Taylor Kinney, whom she met on the set of her “You And I” video last year, for about six months now. But it seems that Mother Monster still has trouble being herself—her real self—when she’s with him. She often ends up acting more like Gaga and less like herself even when she’s around Taylor—and he doesn’t like it. A source tells In Touch:

“Gaga started living and breathing her character 24/7 because she felt her fans wanted that.”

Taylor, however, decided to put his foot down. A second insider shares:

“Taylor has convinced her that he loves the real Stefani.”

Aaww. Isn’t that sweet? And, lucky for Taylor, Gaga agreed to tone down the weird antics and promised to act “more human” when they’re together.

We wonder what Gaga’s “more human” side is like?

It seems the Material Girl had a listen on Mother Monster‘s allegedly heavily Madonna-influenced chart-topping single and found it wanting. Like other critics of Lady Gaga, did Madonna think she got ripped off by a attention-seeking sensationalist wannabe?

Still, hasn’t Gaga cited Madonna as a huge inspiration to her current body of work? So what if that influence has trickled down to the actual chord structures of her songs?

“I certainly think she references me a lot in her work. And sometimes I think it’s amusing and flattering and well done,”

Madonna told ABC News in an interview.

“There’s a lot of ways to look at it. I can’t really be annoyed by it …because, obviously, I’ve influenced her.”

Unfortunately, the 53-year-old pop icon thinks Lady Gaga may have gone overboard in attempting to channel the one and only Madonna.

“When I heard it on the radio …I said that sounds very familiar,”

Madonna admits.

“It feels reductive.”

And for the uninformed, synonyms for “reductive”  include “backward,” “coarse,” and “crude.”

Ouch.

It seems for the Material Girl, Mother Monster will only ever be a wannabe.

Can you picture an indigo-hued, multi-armed Gaga with blue-black hair and a jeweled loin cloth tilting her head from side to side and doing a sing-song filmi chant version of “Marry The Night?”

Does  Gaga‘s latest desire to do a Bollywood film have anything to do with her recent trip there to do a show where she mingled with Indian actors Shah Rukh Khan and Arjun Rampal, or is it because Woody Allen has been largely ignoring her broad hint to him on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that she’d like to star in one of his movies?

In fact, Lady Gaga went so far as to cuss out current the industry she’s in, telling her 17.7 million Twitter followers she’d rather defect to India instead.

“Screw Hollywood – it’s all about Bollywood”

Gaga proclaimed, posing with her favorite Bollywood hunks in a twitpic:

“I recently saw a Bollywood show in Paris and my interest in India has piqued. I would like to do a Bollywood film. I am fascinated by the dance and the clothing,”

Gaga continued in her praise of the Mumbai film industry.

“I am so inspired by the country. It’s music, styles and countryside. I want to do a free show for all my fans the next time I visit.”

So hey, Little Monsters everywhere, you’ve got a Lady Gaga Bollywood-style performance coming up this year to look forward to…free of charge!

Gaga, who was first reported to be dating “You And I” music video co-star Taylor Kinney in September, has finally been photographed out in public with her new squeeze. RadarOnline.com reports:

“The Bad Romance singer, 25, and Kinney, a 30-year-old actor from Neffville, Pennsylvania, were spotted recently walking arm-in-arm in the California beach town he lives in.”

Gaga was dressed like a biker chic, wearing a black leather jacket and knee-high boots, while Taylor was dressed in a black cap, gray pants, and a black shirt.

In her lawsuit, O’Neill is claiming $380,000 worth of overtime for the excess of 7,168 she attended to Gaga‘s every need for four weeks in 2009 and then throughout 2010 and into March of this year. In fact, she alleges she’d been on call almost every hour of every day for only $1,000 a week in 2009 and a $75,000 annual salary thereafter!

Wow, if Lady Gaga paid us $1,000 a week to be with her 24/7, we’d be over the moon. And if Mother Monster offered us that chance for $75,000 a year, we’d be plowing our competitors left and right to be first in line…so bully for you, O’Neil.

Still, O’Neill continues to gripe that Gaga required her to handle business

“not only in her home, but also during her travels to her global concert tours, from city to city throughout the world, at locales including stadiums, private jets, fine hotel suites, yachts, ferries, trains and tour buses.”

So what did O’Neill think being an assistant to an international superstar would be like? Sitting on her butt in an office and fielding calls from 9 to 5?

Because O’Neill doesn’t think she’s been paid enough for her time with Mother Monster after working 10-hour days.

“Jennifer O’Neill’s lawsuit is completely without merit,”

A rep for Lady Gaga said in response to the December 14 suit filed in in the U.S. District Court in New York.

We totally, unequivocally agree.

Were we expecting anything less?

We all know Gaga never shies from attention, and she doesn’t put many limits on herself when it comes to visual self-expression. So team her up together with photographer Terry Richardson and you get a series of celebrity photo shoots that go beyond the norm of what you’d expect from a female entertainer…

Sure, there have been hotter celebrity photo shoots around…but do they get any weirder than this?

Let’s face it, Gaga‘s never boring.

She owns the turf on the drama that is the visual arts, and her 2011 with Terry Richardson chronicles her descent into the strange and wackily fantastic oddness that only Lady Gaga can lay claim to.

So feast your eyes on Gaga and Richardson‘s photographic collaboration this year, because who knows what 2012 might bring…

Lady Gaga, who’s been dating “Vampire Diaries” star Taylor Kinney since September, is reportedly looking to buy a house in Lancaster County, where Taylor is originally from.

The pop star was recently spotted checking out Oak Hill Road home, a huge property located within the exclusive Bent Creek Community in Manheim Township. CBS21 reports:

“The spacious, 6,000 plus square foot home with a three car garage is on the market for $1.699 million, according to the Prudential real estate agent listing the property. “

The site adds:

“We are told in addition to the Oak Hill Road home, there is another property in Bent Creek that people are positive Lady Gaga purchased. Right now it looks like these rumors are just rumors, no word about any definite sale at this point.”

Gaga and Kinney have reportedly been hanging out a lot around Lancaster County—hitting up local bars and food joints—so it does kind of make sense for her to buy a house there.

Doesn’t it?

The book has been raising a lot of eyebrows with it’s bevy of female celebrities and models, from Lady Gaga to Canadian musician Sara McLachlan, who’ve posed naked in large format, with their backsides bared prominently to the camera…because in case you didn’t know, “cullo” is a slang Italian term for “buttocks”… and if you’re a backside enthusiast, you’re sure to go in thrall over this book…

Famed photographer Raphael Mazzuco got to squeeze (pun intended) his camera’s shutter button on all kinds of celebrity behinds, from Gaga, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson, Nicole Scherzinger, Sarah McLachlan, Stacy Keibler, Irina Shayk and Alessandra Ambrosio, among 200 other butt cheeks.

And wouldn’t you know? The book is calling the female derriere the “new epicenter of female sexuality, desire and empowerment.”

Eh? Us, we just like to look.

So take a gander and see if you can recognize which pair of buttocks belongs to whom…

Uh…was she expecting some lofty type of work, such as having veto power over who gets to see Gaga and who doesn’t?

The ex-assistant, a Jennifer O’Neill, says she worked for Lady Gaga for a total of 13 months, and claims Gaga owes her $380,000 worth of overtime….

What? Did she actually think working for an internationally-acclaimed entertainer was a nine to five job?

In her suit, O’Neill alleges that her work detail included making sure a towel was available for Mother Monster after every shower, and serving as Gaga‘s personal alarm clock to make sure everything went on schedule.

Oh, hey…that’s worthy of a lawsuit? Hollywood news has heard of celebrity assistants who’ve had to serve as umbrella bearers, coffee runners, suitcase packers, drugs and women procurers, pooch poo disposal, and even to regularly change batteries on the Game Boy/PSP/Wii…and all of them gladly did their jobs with the pride of people who serve the important.

Not so Jennifer O’Neill, though, who claims Gaga demanded her to be available at the “earliest waking hour,” and hence is suing Mother Monster for 7,168 hours of overtime!

Why’d this woman apply for the job anyway?

Her Twitter account may have been hacked recently, but we’re pretty sure it was Gaga behind the controls when an expletive-filled song entitled “Stuck On F*cking You” was posted on her Twitter account on Christmas day.

Hours before the unveiling, Lady Gaga tweeted:

“So excited for you to hear your X-mas present monsters! 5 hrs and 28 minutes away! I love you all so much, you’re the greatest gift to me.”

Gaga then proceeded to give some background info on the song:

“So to give you a little background to the creation of this song. I wrote it in Minnesota after the Monster Ball on the tour bus… We recorded it in one shot. Fernando on guitar, Paul on Drum Machine. I wrote, sang it, and freestyled the last minute + a half of the song.”

She later added:

“We were all wasted on the bus making records. It is such a timecapsule of the spirit of our creativity.”

Take a listen and tell us what you think:

Not 24 hours ago, a tweet appeared on Mother Monster’s Twitter status which caused a whole lot of excitement among Little Monsters everywhere. Gaga announced she was giving an expensive gift to every single one of her millions of fans for the holidays. And no, it wasn’t a free concert either…

“FREE iPad2′s to each one of you in the spirit of the holidays.”

the pseudo-Lady Gaga tweeted.

Can you imagine the ruckus this caused among her followers. Fortunately, quite a lot of them became suspicious because of the link that came with the tweet. And you know what a huge red flag that is for someone who knows about viruses, malware and spyware.

And come on, 17 million free iPad 2′s? Not even Gaga has that kind of money, even if she did pull in $90 million this year.

“Phew. The hacking is over! And just in time, I’m on my way to Japan! So excited to spend Xmastime with my TokyoMonsters!”

Lady Gaga posted a very relieved shoutout to her adoring, but a bit disappointed followers.

A free iPad2…hmmm…makes you want to follow Lady Gaga right off, eh?

Financial Magazine Forbes says Mother Monster earned a skyrocketing total of $90 million this year, which is more than the next top two earners after her combined: Taylor Swift at number two, who earned $45 million, and Katy Perry, at number three with $44 million. Imagine the taxes they must shell out for income like that…

But the $90 million isn’t the sum total of all Gaga earned this year. The actual figure is closer to $170 million on 137 shows in 22 countries over the past 12 months. However, the Queen of Costumes did incur such astronomical production costs which reduced her gross considerably.

Still, we haven’t factored in the moolah Lady Gaga pulls in from heavy radio play, recorded music sales and endorsement deals.

That means she can’t be a tax evader…thanks to Forbes Magazine…

Is that why the “Marry The Night” singer grew up to be so attuned to everything sexual, and will expose her body whenever the occasion calls for it (and sometimes even when not)?

Lady Gaga reminisced about her childhood growing up in a house with no bedroom doors together with her sister, Natali, and her parents Joe and Cynthia, in Manhattan’s posh Upper West Side.

“My parents’ room and the one I shared with my sister were on the top floor. There are no doors on the bedrooms.”

Gaga told The Sun.

“My parents could hear everything me and my sister said growing up. And I heard them too!”

Gaga says there still are no doors in her parents’ apartment, which is why she doesn’t really stay there the whole time when she’s in New York.

“I love being with my parents, but I also really fear domestication. I just don’t have a home. I stay between my friends’ places and my parents’.”

No wonder. Other kids would’ve been grossed out. Gaga channeled the sex and sexuality she learned at home into a billion-dollar career…

Apparently the sketch was done when Gaga sang a duet, “Lady Is A Tramp” for his 2011 album Duets II, the same album which also features Bennett singing “Body and Soul” with the late Amy Winehouse. It looks like Gaga heard about Benedetto, the world-famous painter, and wanted her naked body immortalized by his 85-year-old hand…

The 18″ x 24″ sketch is signed “Benedetto,” from Tony Bennett‘s real name, Anthony Dominick Benedetto, which he uses on all his artwork that’s been exhibited in galleries around the world. And now it’s on eBay!

“I walked in and said, ‘Well Tony, here we are’,”

Gaga relates during her Thanksgiving special,

“and I dropped my robe and I got into position. I felt shy and thought, ‘It’s Tony Bennett, why am I naked?”

The collectible Lady Gaga‘s nude body in charcoal by Tony Bennett (as opposed to Lady Gaga‘s nude body she displays at the drop of a hat) is available on eBay with a current bid of $6,766.66.

Proceeds of the auction will be divvied up between Tony Bennett’s Exploring The Arts Foundation, which promotes arts in high-school education and Gaga‘s anti-bullying foundation, Born This Way. So it’s actually a double collaboration between colorful Gaga, and suave icon Bennett, who’s been on the performance circuit since the 1950′s.

And you have five days to meet the current bid and win yourself an timely investment in art…so hurry! Can you just imagine how much that sketch will be worth once Tony Bennett kicks the bucket?

So what’s next for the most powerful pop celebrity in the world after having practically conquered the music industry? Why, acting of course! Isn’t that the next step every performer takes? And Gaga tells star news she isn’t content to be in just any film… it has to be a Woody Allen film, no more, no less.

Are you getting all this Woody?

And more importantly, she wants to be able to audition for the role.

“You’ve never seen me act before,”

Gaga explains on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

“I want to audition…I want to work for it.”

and because

“My dream would be to be in a Woody Allen movie…that would be my dream.”

Mother Monster insists.

Well, Woody, she’s no Mia Farrow, or Uma Thurman, or even Scarlett Johansson, but hey, she’s a blonde now. So hurry and invite Gaga to read for you…who knows, she just might blow your mind…

A source reveals Gaga is utterly fixated on Diana, and sees herself as the pop icon version of the late princess…or more to the fact, the 21st century incarnation of her. Is this the reason why Gaga‘s been trying to change her accent from native New Yorker to something approaching upper crust Brit?

“She knows she is almost as recognisable as Diana and is hounded by photographers and fans on the same level.”

The source reportedly told UK’s tabloid “The Sun“,

“Gaga has had dreams about dying the same way as her and has genuine fears that her fame could literally kill her, either in a chase or at the hands of crazies.”

In fact, Mother Monster feels so much affinity to the ill-fated British royal, she’s announced she’ll be releasing a new track dedicated to the late princess, whom Gaga‘s been referring to as a “martyr for fame.”

We know Gaga‘s a “Fame Monster,” and all that, but we’re not sure Princess Di actively courted that kind of attention from the paparazzi…or from anyone else for that matter, except for trying to pull Prince Charles away from Camilla Parker-Bowles‘ sticky fingers during the early days…

But that doesn’t stop Gaga from laboring under the delusion she’ll be like Princess Diana very soon. Mother Monster is reported to be obsessed with the late icon’s charity work and fashion sense, and in fact has lifted ideas for her costumes from Diana‘s own wardrobe choices.

“Diana was the most iconic martyr of fame. She died because of it.”

Gaga was once quoted as saying, attributing her hit “Paparazzi,” as having been inspired by Diana‘s senseless death.

So watch out Princes William and Harry…because there’ll be a very oddly dressed woman with a painfully enunciated accent who’ll want to claim to be your mother soon…

Whatever happened to Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta‘s New York born and bred Yankee accent?

We’re pretty sure the gradual shift in Gaga‘s articulation didn’t start with her 14-minute biographical opus, “Marry The Night,” where she pretty much prattles on in a refined and genteel turn of phrase for the first eight minutes of the video:

Because here she is again in a November video reading in her particularly affected elocution from a Terry Richardson foreword in a book of photographs of uh…herself (naturally):

Is the accent part of her evolution as a performance artist? Or like she says in “Marry The Night”:

“It’s sort of like my life is an unfinished painting, and as the artist of that painting, I must fill in the ugly holes and make it beautiful again. It’s not that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just that…I loathe reality.”

And for us, reality is Lady Gaga holding forth in full possession of her linguistic roots, such as from this early cameo in an MTV prank video, “Boiling Points”:

Or her this last known instance, circa 2009, when she was still proud as hell to be a New Yorker:

So what’s with the accent, Lady Gaga?

Yep, that’s right. Back in September, after the tragic suicide of “It Get’s Better” teen Jamey Rodemeyer, Lady Gaga vowed to take the fight against bullying—the very thing that took Jamey’s life—illegal. Gaga tweeted:

“Jamey Rodemeyer, 14 yrs old, took his life because of bullying. Bullying must become be illegal. It is a hate crime.”

She added:

“I am meeting with our President. I will not stop fighting. This must end. Our generation has the power to end it. Trend it #MakeALawForJamey”

And of course, Gaga made good on her word. Earlier this week she went to The White House and met with President Barack Obama’s staffers to discuss the steps that the administration will be taking against bullying

Valeria Jarrett, President Obama’s Senior Advisor, wrote a blog about the meeting on The White House website. She writes:

“Lady Gaga is a source of strength for many young people who feel isolated and scared at their schools.  Today, I had the opportunity to welcome her to the White House, where we discussed ways we could work together to make sure that no child comes under attack, regardless of his or her race, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other factor.”

One of the topics discussed was Gaga’s newest project, the Born This Way Foundation, which according to Jarrett’s blog will “explore ways to help change the culture, the policies, and the curriculum surrounding the safety of our children in school.”

She adds:

“Lady Gaga has described this cause as a personal one – she has said that as a child, she was often picked on for being different. I am deeply moved by the way she has used her story, and her success, to inspire young people, and shine the spotlight on important issues.”

We applaud you for your drive and determination, Lady Gaga! Let’s all do our part in the fight against bullying by treating each other with love, courtesy and respect.
